2. Application of Low-Cost, Reactive Thermoplastic Materials to Marine Renewable Energy Device Structures
A four-year computational Ph.D. position on "MD modelling of unfolded proteins in aging nuclear pores" is available at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.
Two PhD positions (each for 4 years, to fill this year)
Payment: the monthly minimum gross salary for this employment is EUR 2,562.00 (14x per year)
The Automated Computational Mechanics Laboratory (ACML) in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University has one open PhD position for Spring 2014. The research in ACML is focused on the implementation of advanced finite element and meshfree methods for the computational modeling of materials with complex geometries, corrosion, damage/fracture mechanics, and multi-physics simulations.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano is
currently seeking applicants for PhD positions in the following research areas:
We are looking for PhD candidates to study interfaces in SiC/SiC fiber composites. The project is in collaboration with CEA and Centre des Matériaux, MINES ParisTech under the supervision of Marie-Hélène Berger (MINES ParisTech), Cédric Sauder (DMN/SRMA/LTMEX) and Sylvie Poissonnet (DMN/SRMP).
Title : "Influence of Carbone interphases in SiC/SiC composites based on Hi-Nicalon S and Tyranno SA3 fibers"
PhD and Post-Doc positions are now available at the Institut für Angewandte Mechanik of the Technische Universität Braunschweig, Germany. Both are full-time fixed-term positions for 2 years with the possibility of renewal.
